This Eroge Won't Make Me Fall!



"Huh?" I tapped my stomach. Once, twice… nothing…

Oh?

I was alright?

Maria looked at me too, tears in her eyes.

But when she noticed that nothing had happened to me, she stopped.

"Why? Why didn't it work?"

She asked.

"I… don't know?"

I answered.

What was this situation?

"Ah… hahaaha hahahah!" Maria laughed wildly. "It's because you're not young master! Of course!"

Uh oh.

"Fake! You fake! You dare impersonate my young master!"

With those words, Maria swung her knife straight at my stomach.

I grabbed the blade with my hands and stopped her.

"Maria please, hear me out."

"It's over. Young master hates me… it's over…"

"Nothing is over! I don't hate you. I never ever will!"

"You're not young master!"

Fuck.

I slowly grabbed her sides and pushed her down to the ground. Maria's back lightly fell on the ground below littered with papers while she still tried to stab me.

I slowly let go and placed my hands on her cheeks.

Then, I leaned in to press my lips on her, but stopped.

Argh, she clearly didn't believe me. It went against my conscience to kiss her like that. It was not a sign of the strong.

That said, being mistaken wasn't it either.

"Maria," I muttered. "I would never hate you, you know that right? I didn't come to see you because I didn't want you to get hurt."

"Lies…"

I showed her my hand.

"Do you see this blood?"

Maria's eyes widened.

"I have become a demon. I am not human anymore. You're going to hate me now, right?"

I had to use whatever I could. Anything. Don't like lying? Well, I didn't like dying even more.

"I wanted to see you once. But now, you're going to go away from me forever, right? Who would want to be with a demon?"

"D-d-demon…?"

Maria grabbed my hands, my blood seeping into her touch.

"Young master… you became a demon?"

"Yes, yes. This is what I wanted to save you from. It was a demon that had captured my mother once too."

I snapped my fingers and pulled out the Charlotte's ring. Why didn't I put it back on? It was one sexy ring.

"The demon, was able to control me from this."

"It knew… lady Charlotte…? It was a demon that defeated her?"

"Yes!" I nodded. This was working. "But I killed it. Had I not, I would have not been able to see you again. That's why, I had to stay away for that reason."

"Young master…"

"But, it's all useless now, right?" I said. "I am a demon now, so you won't be with me anyway…"

I looked down. Come on, tear glands, work, please. No chance. I doubt I even possessed those.

I grabbed Maria again and spoke with as much emotion as I could muster.

"But, as long as you're safe. I am happy."

"Y-young master…?"

I stood up.

"Always be happy, Maria. This demon will not show you his disgusting face anymore—"

"Young master!!"

Maria grabbed me.

She started sobbing even harder than before as she pulled me down.

"I am sorry! I never knew you were suffering so much! I never knew you were in so much pain! I never knew you were so resolved."

"No!" I looked away. "Don't do this, Maria. Don't give me hope. How would I be able to leave without tears if you act like this?"

"Woah. Disgusting."

Shut up fairy! Our lives depend on this!

"No! Young master, don't leave! Please don't leave."

"But… I am a demon, and you're a human."

"Even so! Who said we can't be together?"

"What now, so you guys are getting married?"

Stupid fairy.

"Maria… don't you hate me?"

"I can't! Even if you hate me, I can never hate you young master. I'll die before I hate you!"

I slowly looked back.

"Truly?"

"I love you, young master! I love all of you, however you are!"

She finally tossed the knife away and grabbed me with the other hand as well. With a weak pull, I went down and kneeled in front of her.

Maria caressed my cheeks gently and smiled.

"Young master. No matter how you are. Please, don't leave me."

"Even though I am a demon now?"

"Even then!" Maria pulled me closer and pressed my face in her bosom. "Please, forgive me, young master. When I should have stood by your side, I only cursed you out!"

She was slowly turning back to normal.

Finally.

I looked up at Maria and she peered back at me. Her hand ran over my hair.

If she was along, Dantalian would have definitely been scared straight.

I should probably take her along for whatever big fight I have next.

"Maria… I am very sorry," I said. "Even though I promised I wouldn't leave without a word, I did it again."

Maria shook her head.

"No, you had no choice, young master. It was because that Principal ordered you, right? I'll kill him instead."

"Uh, no, actually… It's not related to him at all."

"Then?" She asked.

"It was even more dangerous than you've heard!" I saved myself in the nick of time. Let her cook and she'll make it about herself again. "I am glad you're not hurt, Maria. Even if I am."

"Young master!"

Maria screamed again.

She pulled me up by my cheeks, and slowly kissed me. Her tongue rolled out and pitted against mine for a solid few seconds before she backed away.

Her hand then went for her dress.

"Young master…"

I stopped her right there.

What was this girl doing?

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Do you… not want…"

I flicked her forehead.

"Why would I want that instead of spending time with you?"

"Eh?"

She was slowly getting back to normal. She would understand this herself in some time. I was slightly flabbergasted at her actions, but alright.

Thinking of it, I nodded and pulled her up.

"Got it, let's go on a date."

"A date?"

"Yes! A date with just the two of us. I am here to see you, Maria. That stuff is just for when we both want some fun, not for saying we missed each other."

"Ah…"

"That we can do with words."
